GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Not much early pace and doubt they will go hard. CONCENTRE (9) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Expect her to play a major role. POWER OF THE KING (2) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a sixth at this track over 1400m. Draws well and is open to improvement so is among the chances. PHRONESIS (5) did a good job last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Can play a pivotal role. STEEL WILL (1) improved and finished third last start over 1600m at Kawasaki, beaten 2.5 lengths. Peaking now and well drawn.
